Disgruntled people could effect opinions of a camera. Inexperienced but good meaning people could aos effect the opinions of people. So be careful of that too.

Click REPLY TO or send me a message. A pretty prominant videographer in the Dallas area told me not to buy a HDV camera because they were going to be quickly phased out. However somebody told me that was not the case at all. Has anybody heard anything about the uncertain future of HDV cameras? I have the money to buy a good camera in the 6K and under range, but I'd like to buy 2 good 3K or under cameras if I could. I was checking out the HDV cameras until that ONE guy told me that info.

JVC Everio hybrid GZ-MG13OU $350 Works awesome outside but the quaility inside kinda sucks and is very easy to upload to your computer.

Thanks for your recommendation on the Panasonic GS320. I just bought it and will let you know what I think. So far the rest of the internet loves it too. Not too bad either. Circuit city had it for $389 (in-store pickup + tax). Thanks for helping me decide. I almost bought one that sucked!! LOL

Definately get a Panasonic GS320 It's a really great camers, it pretty much has all the featuers of a 5000 dollar camera, and super easy to use, but you may have to read the manual a few times.

I currently use the Sony DCR-SR42, and I like the hard drive, night mode is pretty cool, and I the 40X optical zoom (optical is the good zoom that doesn't loose quality when you use it) Thank you for this video, Nalts, if I ever save up enough money, I will buy the Canon HV20, it looks like a great camera.

Thanks, really useful to those of us starting to think of doing this. Thanks to those who have left comments about their gear.

Sony DCR-SR42. Portable, massive hard drive space. Need to buy the larger battery pack. Only HQ video quality and interlaced (bad). No shoe on top of camera. I plan to upgrade to HD shortly.
